Defiance - the MMO that was also a pretty good sci-fi show - is getting another new lease of life from developer Trion Worlds.

Warner Bros. has announced yet another version of Injustice 2.

DICE, it's easy to forget in all the kerfuffle that's surrounded the developer in recent months following the Star Wars Battlefront 2 debacle, can still craft a damn fine shooter. When the parts align - when you're sprinting between falling masonry on Battlefield 1's depiction of the western front, as a Sopwith Camel buzzes overhead and a Saint Chamond tank churns over the hills on the far horizon - it's still capable of making some of the most dramatic and spectacular shooters around.

After several days of teasing, Blizzard has confirmed that Overwatch's next and 27th hero will be - as pretty much everyone had already assumed - "engineer turned valiant squire", and Torbjörn's daughter, Brigitte Lindholm.

Grasshopper Manufacture has announced that it's reviving Capcom's cult classic Killer7, via a new "collab" event in the free-to-play PS4 hack-and-slasher Let It Die.

Big news for Eurogamer today: after 18 years as an independent, our parent company Gamer Network has been acquired by ReedPOP. ReedPOP is an American events company that, among other things, owns and operates the PAX gaming events that Eurogamer readers will surely be familiar with. (I've included the full press release announcing this news below.)

Remember H1Z1? The early Battle Royale Steam hit has seen a drastic drop in player numbers ever since PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and Fortnite took hold of the genre. But its developers have come up with a plan to get the game back into the big time - and it involves cars.

Sony has announced PlayStation Plus' games for March, and it's a good 'un.

The Trail, Peter Molyneux's chilled out hiking game, is out today on Nintendo Switch priced £11.99.

Cevat Yerli, the controversial boss and co-founder of Crysis developer Crytek, has stepped down as CEO and president.

Ex-Duke Nukem owner 3D Realms has released a new game and, coincidentally enough, it looks quite a lot like Duke Nukem. But it isn't!

The next game from Question is a co-op horror for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

If you don't fancy Steam's offer of Half-Life bonuses in Final Fantasy 15 on PC, you can now get costumes from The Sims if you buy from Origin.

Horizon Zero Dawn has sold an impressive 7.6m copies, Sony has announced.

Funcom has announced a new game starring an unlikely bipedal trio of duck, boar and some kind of human. It's an XCOM-style tactical adventure in a post-human Earth, and it's made not by Funcom but by a small new developer called, um, Bearded Ladies, which was formed by ex-Hitman developers and Payday designer Ulf Andersson. Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden, as it's called, looks pretty good.

Version 1.13 of Gran Turismo Sport has just gone live, and it brings with it a bevvy of new cars as well as some online fixes and a selection of new track layouts. Perhaps more importantly, given the online focus of the PlayStation 4 exclusive, it introduces some amendments to how driver conduct is policed in multiplayer races.

Blizzard has announced details of Hearthstone's next yearly cycle, named The Year of the Raven.

Electronics retailer Maplin is the second UK chain to fall into administration today, following the earlier announcement of Toys R Us failing.

There's another Super Nintendo game-playing console on the market.

After a year of waiting, 80 Days developer Inkle has shown off a proper look at its in-development sci-fi adventure Heaven's Vault - and confirmed it will arrive on PlayStation 4 this year.

Kirby developer HAL Laboratory's mobile game debut - the delightful Part Time UFO - has finally released on iOS and Android in the West.

UPDATE 28TH FEBRUARY 9AM GMT: Another day, another tease, and it's more schematics for equipment. This time there's a design for a shield which looks a lot like Reinhardt's - check the lion's head in the centre - only smaller, given the measurements supplied and the words "kompakt!!" scribbled next to it. The similarities to Reinhardt's shield reinforce this being Brigitte, as she not only makes and mends his equipment, she's very close to him - him being a godfather figure to her.

Yesterday, Sega announced it had launched the demo version of Yakuza 6 for PlayStation 4.

It was Superhot that first made me think about the old writer's adage, that you do the slow stuff fast and the fast stuff slow. This is the thinking that powers Jack Reacher novels, for example - Lee Child talks about this trick often and with great clarity. If Reacher's doing a bunch of research, you whip through it in a couple of lines. Literary montage! If Reacher's outside a bar, though, and a horseshoe of bad'uns is forming around him, time slows until it forms a thick mineral goop that traps everyone within it. The next few seconds are going to involve the shattering of kneecaps and the bruising of aortas (if aortas are a thing that can be bruised - having typed it, I am unconvinced). The next few seconds are going to be violent and memorable. Crucially, the next few seconds are going to take eight or nine pages to play out, because every move will be examined in great forensic detail. We will count the separate sparks in the air, and be deafened by the clatter of a spent cartridge case rattling on the tarmac. We will be fully present and fully conscious in these terrible, glorious moments.

Epic appears to be teasing the imminent arrival of jetpacks in Fortnite Battle Royale, judging by the game's latest welcome screen.

Square Enix has surprise-released beloved Super Nintendo RPG classic Chrono Trigger on Steam. But before you go rushing off to make a purchase...

We like the Switch version of the Doom 2016. We respect its remarkable technological achievements and we're blown away by the fact that a playable version of this game exists at all for Nintendo's hybrid machine, but the fact is that the game has issues. The drop from 60fps to half-refresh was inevitable, but the impact to resolution and wobbly performance detracted significantly from the overall experience. Last week, developer Panic Button released a patch for the title and to say that people were excited about its potential would be a vast understatement - our social media was awash with demands to re-test the title, with many believing they were seeing some profound improvements in the revised code.

Monster Hunter World's second Horizon Zero Dawn crossover quest will commence tomorrow on PlayStation 4, and Capcom has offered final details.

UPDATE 5PM GMT: Microsoft has confirmed it. The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings will, alongside Crackdown, Fable Anniversary and Forza Horizon, be enhanced for Xbox One X.

Its name invites calamity, a certain misfortune, and I absolutely adore it for its blunt simplicity. Human: Fall Flat. That, there, is slapstick served up with a certain eastern European dryness. It's perhaps little wonder, then, that this comic puzzler has done so well in the 18 months or so since its release, having recently racked up some two million sales. Fall flat? It's done just about anything but.
